Reminds me of the time that i was in an IRC channel years ago that was run by Brisbanes TripleM Radio. They'd call out Nicknames in the list, and it being live and me being the person i am... as he got my nickname i quickly changed it to "IWantAn....L" the DJ being in in a Robot style of reading just read it out...
The other DJ's just laughed their butts off and it took him around 20sec to realise that he just announced to the whole Brisbane his hidden conflict. It has no relivance to the topic, but then again we are talking about agencies who are given a topic and go totally against the topics context.. so in way it is ontopic?
